Data collection and visualisation tools in the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
Abstract
This report provides a landscape analysis of available data collection and visualisation tools in the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Digital data collection has the potential to facilitate cost-effective, adaptable, timely and reliable data to inform decision-making. The value proposition of these tools, as opposed to paper-based data collection, is that they have the potential to save valuable time and resources, minimise errors, and facilitate the sharing of results. To develop this report, we reviewed 50 available tools, of which we reviewed four in depth, considering their uses, features, and challenges. This report offers key takeaways on the potential advantages and limitations of using digital data collection tools in the education sector in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Key words: data collection, data visualisation, education, sub-saharan africa, south asia, landscape analysis An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org
